First Clearinghouse for Daily Deal Specific Websites, URLs, Domains and More Also Looks to Spur M&A Activity

TROY, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Daily Deal Media, the leading news, information and data resource for those interested in the group buying industry, announced today the launch of “Marketplace,” a new platform to allow for the purchase and sale of daily deal related domains and websites. The key features of the Daily Deal Media Marketplace would allow companies to buy and sell daily deal related websites, domain names, scripts and white label platforms. Additionally, Marketplace by Daily Deal Media will be partnering with merchant services companies, including Deal Umpire, to market their pipeline of merchant deal inventory directly to daily deal websites via an auction, where the daily deal companies bid to win the right to list the merchant’s product and/or services.

Previously, there was no central place to view domain and website listings dedicated to the daily deal space. Globally, there are more than 4,000 total daily deal companies, including more than 2,000 in China, more than 900 in Europe, and more than 600 in South America. The buyers, who have funding or are cash-flow positive, are using this period of growth to pick up websites and assets at reduced prices or are looking to get a jump start into this rapidly growing industry. On the seller side are companies that have been struggling to find growth and/or funding and are looking for a quick exit.

“Daily Deal Media has become the go-to resource for news, research and information about the group buying industry. We are constantly looking to see what additional services we can offer this space. While other domain auction sites exist, there is not a specific theme to our industry, making exactly what people are looking for difficult to find. Hence, we have buyers and sellers contacting us daily for leads and opportunities. Marketplace is our attempt to formalize that process and provide an easy yet productive and cost effective solution,” said Boyan Josic, CEO of Daily Deal Media.

Marketplace by Daily Deal Media, which operates as a listing fee service as opposed to a commission, is now live and available for immediate use. Companies looking for more information on the domain and website service can visit http://dailydealmedia.com/marketplace.

Press who would like to schedule an interview with Boyan Josic to discuss activity in the group buying industry, please contact Andrea Hawley at Schwartz MSL at 415-512-0770 or email dailydealmedia-at-schwartzmsl-dot-com.
